Use your GNOGgin
PlayStation VR is still a young peripheral, and with that we’ve come to expect some growing pains. Dating back to the headset's launch, there’s been a surprisingly high volume of worthwhile titles offered, including some truly great games. But alongside that, there’s also been a glut of high-price, low-quality "experiences"...
News Nex Machina Looks Like Another Housemarque Classic
Watch almost 20 minutes of gameplay

Hunger games
While the console conversation has been dominated by the likes of Horizon: Zero Dawn, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Persona 5, there’s one Early Access title on PC that’s been gathering a community as quietly as a runaway steam train. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is an online, Battle Royale-esque survival...
News PS4 Exclusive Dreams Remains an Incredibly Attractive Enigma
Snail's pace
We know there’s a bit of confusion over what Dreams actually is, but you’ve got to give both Sony and Media Molecule credit for being bold enough to create something so outside-the-box.

News PREY Amps Up the Volume in PS4 Launch Trailer
Fight the invasion
PREY may share a lot in common with BioShock, but you’d think it’s more akin to DOOM if you just watched this launch trailer. Bethesda clearly feels that the best way to sell its new first-person shooter is by turning up the volume, and so there’s just under 120 seconds of unadulterated action on display here. Are you...
News Play The Division for Free on PS4 All This Weekend
Snow joke
The benefit of these service games that Ubisoft keeps putting out is that they lend themselves well to promotional weekends, and The Division is no different.

News Sony Celebrates Golden Week with PS4 Game Sale on NA PlayStation Store
PS3 and Vita also well represented
Golden Week is a national holiday in Japan, so it seems only fair to acknowledge it with a bunch of discounts on the North American PlayStation Store.

News 2D Shooter BUTCHER Channels Its Inner DOOM on PS4 This Month
Bloody hell
If you're up for some rock hard 2D shooting, then BUTCHER might be just what the doctor ordered. Inspired by the likes of DOOM and other 90s blast-'em-ups, BUTCHER is stuffed with blood, guts, and a ridiculous amount of ammunition. It launches for PlayStation 4 on the 9th May, and you can get a good eyeful of it in the trailer that we've...
News A Free-to-Play Version of Toukiden 2 Will Slay Some Oni Later This Month
Back to battle
Toukiden 2 is a great action role-playing sequel, but it's safe to say that it's been overlooked by many. The title's online community is almost non-existent, which makes its multiplayer component feel a bit pointless unless you're playing organised games with friends. Fortunately, the player count may be spiking in the near future,...

Targeting a 2018 release
Bandai Namco has a new action role-playing game in the works, currently dubbed Code Vein.

Rumour Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered Scores Separate Launch
Pass the Soap
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered will be untethered from Infinite Warfare this summer, assuming a listing on rental website GameFly is to be believed.

News The Chainsmokers Bring Paris to PlayStation VR
Get away from your parents
You've got to give a lot of credit to DJ double-act The Chainsmokers: they've basically released the same song twice with changed lyrics and had a huge amount of success in the process. And now they're bringing Paris – which is totally different to Closer – to PlayStation VR as part of a new application. You can...

Opinion Why Sony Is Zagging While the Industry Zigs
A different direction
Third-party publishers are bullish: service games are the future. All of the big games makers are at it: Activision's got Destiny, Call of Duty, and – via its subsidiary Blizzard – Overwatch; EA's got FIFA Ultimate Team among others; Ubisoft's been kept busy with The Division, The Crew, Rainbow Six: Siege, and countless...

News Yu Suzuki Discusses Shenmue III's Story Development
Cool story, bro
It's another Shenmue III update with very little on the progress of the project. This time, director Yu Suzuki talks about the development of the title's plot, and how he uses films as a reference for the cinematography. It's a very top-level look at the creation of games, and doesn't really provide many hints on the nature of the...
News Tekken 7 PS4 Gameplay Goes Over Treasure Battle Mode, Character Customisation, More
Fistful of content

News From Software Seemingly Recruiting for Dark Fantasy Action RPG
Born of the blood
Sony only really needs to utter two words to steal E3 2017 in a couple of months: Bloodborne 2. The original may not have been the biggest seller ever – it still performed pretty well, of course – but among hardcore gamers the series is an absolute show-stopper for sure. And it's got to be happening, right? Well, the developer...

Sound of the underground
Innovative horror title Perception – in which you play a blind girl utilising echolocation to navigate a haunted house – will illuminate the PlayStation 4 on 30th May, a new trailer has revealed.

Guide May 2017 PS4 Games Release Dates
All upcoming PlayStation 4 launches in for May 2017
After the post-fiscal year madness of April 2017, the PlayStation 4 release date slate for May 2017 is much quieter. That's not to say there are an absence of games to pad the time prior to E3 2017, though, with some fairly big titles like Prey, Injustice 2, and RiME due out. In the PlayStation VR...

Poll Should Sony Make a PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Sequel?
And what kind of game should it be?
Thanks to some flaky fakes, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is back in the headlines. There's no sign that Sony's going to revive the mascot mash-up on the PlayStation 4, but the renewed interest invites an interesting question: should it? And if your answer to that is a resounding yes, then what direction...
News Injustice 2's Joker Is a Hobo with a Happy Face
Why so serious?
While there are some questionable character designs in Injustice 2, we must admit we quite like the title's take on sinister supervillain The Joker. With overgrown green locks and a purple trench coat, the character maintains elements of his comic book counterpart, but is unlike any version of the baddie that we've seen before. He...
Feature The Promising PS4 Games of May 2017

Sy-bore-ia
You wouldn't be ignorant if you haven't heard of Syberia 3. It's a point-and-click adventure game developed by French studio Microïds, and it's part of a cult franchise known for its pre-rendered backdrops, distinct mechanical puzzles, and eccentric characters and settings. Syberia 2 was released a mere two years after the original,...

News LocoRoco Remastered Goes Full-Tilt on 9th May
About a blob
There was a period during the PlayStation Portable era where Japan Studio was pumping out some brilliant handheld titles, but they never really got the traction that they deserved.

News This Isn't Your First Look at a PlayStation All-Stars Sequel
Rubbish
Whether or not PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was a good game is up for debate, but should there ever be a successor, it would be fascinating to see what direction Sony took.

Publisher won't repeat same mistake
Street Fighter V is a great game, there's just nowhere near enough of it.

Despite selling over 3.5 million units so far
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard has failed to meet the sales expectations of publisher Capcom, the firm's latest financial report has revealed.

Pray for PREY
A quick heads-up for those out of the loop: PREY's demo is out now on the PlayStation 4 – in Europe at least.

Still, for those of you...
Top of the pops
In a year that's continuously exceeded expectations, you weren't going to bet against Puyo Puyo Tetris being anything less than outstanding, were you?

News Persona 5 Streamers Can Now Go Further Into the Game Without Annoying Atlus
Yay?
Right, so when Persona 5 launched earlier this month, publisher Atlus made it clear that it didn't want anyone spoiling the game's story - whether by screenshot, video, or livestream.

Feature Call of Duty: WWII - 5 Things You Need to Know
World at war
Activision really wants you to know that Call of Duty: WWII is going back to its roots.

Get hooked
Flinthook is a prime example of how the execution of an idea is often more important than the idea itself. At first glance, it seems like any other modern roguelike, running from one procedurally-generated, 16-bit era inspired room to the next, shooting enemies for cash that you use to buy supplies and power-ups along the way. But under...
